Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (240g) pumpkin puree
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup (120g) graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup (175g) white chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and pumpkin puree. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat them together until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix on low speed until fully incorporated, then increase to medium speed until the mixture is fluffy.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up the filling.
- Prepare the coating by placing graham cracker crumbs in a shallow dish. If using melted chocolate, melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Once the filling is firm, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to scoop out portions of the mixture. Roll each portion into a ball with your hands.
- Roll each ball in the graham cracker crumbs until fully coated. If using melted white chocolate, dip the ball in the chocolate and set it on a baking sheet lined with wax paper.
- Place the coated balls on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until set.
- Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy, spiced pumpkin goodness!
Notes
[‘Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps.’, ‘Chill the mixture thoroughly to ensure the balls hold their shape.’, ‘Experiment with coatings like crushed ginger snaps or finely chopped nuts for variety.’, ‘Make a double batch as these disappear quickly!’]
